Hey, Shoog! Thank you for that. As you know I was hesitant to post this... but haven't regretted it. In fact, knowing that others can relate makes it all the more relevant to me. Makes me go: "Yeah... this IS important. This IS a major key to understanding what makes us all tick." This, for me, is like the missing link that should have been obvious all the time! Thanks for your continuing support, Shoog. You're the best, girl.

And thank YOU, Darla! Gawd... I'm picturing you crying while you're eating your lunch. Been there, done that! Better than laughing and passing milk through your nose, though! Anybody old enough here to remember George Carlin's "Class Clown"? He "passed a tuna sandwich" though his nose when a friend made him laugh so hard. I'm glad the letter touched you. I hope it will inspire others to write a similar letter. It's made a huge difference for me already in my food choices.
